Scavenger Hunt


Scavenger hunt is an event conducted on 12th October ’12 by the TGCC team of Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal. 

The basic idea of the event was similar to that of a treasure hunt but in this case the treasure was replaced by waste like plastic and glass bottles thrown away, plastic covers, paper waste and other forms of waste. 


There were strategic points where in each point had a different kind of waste. This waste was collected by our team 2 days in prior to the event inside the campus.
The event started off with an IQ question. 


Those who solved the question started of early for the hunt. Clues were given to the 1st strategic point and the clue to the next place was attached to the waste present at that spot. This way many of the teams covered the all the places and completed the race.


The main theme of the scavenger hunt was to spread awareness 

about waste management and about the harmful effects of non-biodegradable waste, especially for the college students who are generally very irresponsible and lazy coming to waste disposal.
